'Necessary Roughness' officially getting third season

Callie Thorne’s USA drama is getting 10 more episodes.

We reported back in late November that Necessary Roughness was likely to get renewed, and now the cable network has officially given the hour-long drama a third season. This completes the renewal process of USA’s scripted dramas.

"Necessary Roughness is an important page in our network playbook,” Jeff Wachtel and Chris McCumber, USA co- presidents, said in a joint statement. “With a standout team of actors and writers playing at the top of their game, the upcoming seasons promise to deliver high-impact and creative storytelling.”

“Necessary Roughness” centers on Dr. Dani Santino (played by Thorne) who works as a sports psychologist for the New York Hawks while juggling being a single mother.
